Hello James,
Most if not all NOAA weather sats and russian Meteor weather sats were
launched in a 98 degrees orbit
Also the ESA ERS 1&2 sats. And there are more.
The israeli Offeq sats were launched in 143 degrees orbits, due to the
launch constraints from Israel.
Orbital elements are available at OIG, at http://oig1.gsfc.nasa.gov
Greetings and clear, dark skies

Subject: Retrograde objects and UNIDENTIFIEDS
> In particular are retrograde objects with inclinations of around 137
degrees and 101 degrees. A journal article (Bagby J.P., Natural Earth
Satellites, Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Vol. 34, #7,pg
289-293, 1981) suggested that these observed objects were still in orbit in
1981 but I have found no reference to them since that time.
